Study In Brunei To Gain That Extra Touch, Urges UBD Head

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) Vice Chancellor Dato Dr Haji Ismail speaking at the launch of an Exhibition Study at UBD 2003 yesterday said that undergraduates could trained to be the country's future leaders, an agent of development, which they could not be if they studied abroad.

By studying and at the same time contributing to nation building, the students were making positive contributions and dispensing their responsibilities as citizens of the country.

The objective of the two-day exhibition was to impart information to the public about UBDs programmes particularly for candidates who wish to enrol.

The exhibition is also aimed as exposing parents on the importance of selecting the correct study programmes based on their interest, ambitions and the children's ability to coup with the programmes.

Students graduating from UBD this year will have their Convocation Ceremony at the new Chancellor's Hall situated within the UBD campus grounds.

Construction work began in October 2001 and is scheduled to be completed by March.

The hall has the capacity to accommodate around 3,500 people.
